Amino Acids Profiling and Functional Properties of Non-Biofortified Hybrid and Biofortified Pearl Millet Varieties

Abstract

Indian pearl millet varieties which include non-biofortified hybrid HHB-234, biofortified HHB-299 and HHB-311 were selected and subjected to some processing methods like the samples were dried and milled into fine flour for the study of Proximate composition like ash content, moisture content, crude fiber, carbohydrates, crude protein. Also, quantitative analysis of amino acids was done using HPLC which revealed that HHB-234 have (0.61%,0.64%,0.70%, 0.30%) Leucine, Isoleucine, valine, and Threonine. HHB-299 (0.44%.0.61%,0.09%,0.82%) Leucine, Isoleucine, valine and Threonine. HHB-311 (0.49%,0.44%,0.59%,0.32%) Leucine, Isoleucine, valine and Threonine. Result of the current study would help people to consume these pearl millet varieties to fulfill their daily amino acid requirements to a better extent.
